In this stimulating book, a leading expert on German affairs
provides an overview of German political development since 1945.
The key to the well-being and prosperity of Europe after 1945 was
the creation of a stable and democratic West Germany. Unification
in 1990 not only transformed Germany's role in Europe and the world
but brought new political, social and economic problems caused by
the vast expense of unity and high labour costs. The author argues
that these great changes provide a new and daunting challenge to
the Bonn system by calling into question the Berlin Republic's
ability to meet the needs of the German nation. The difficulties
resulting from Germany's commitment to European integration are
also addressed. Within Europe, German insistence on deeper
integration is often seen as evidence of a German wish to dominate
Europe, even though the stated aim of Kohl's government is to
prevent this from happening. The author believes that Germany's new
power is clearly visible, and must be carefully managed if future
conflict is to be avoided.
